Cascade Christian rallied for a 6-5 victory against Mazama in a rain-shortened nonconference baseball game Friday at U.S. Cellular Park.

The game was called in the bottom of the sixth with the Challengers (2-0) batting and ahead 10-8 but the score reverted to the last complete inning.

Cascade Christian pushed across the tying and winning runs in the fifth. Josh Brite opened with a single and scored on Tim Martin's double. A balk moved Martin to third, then he scored on a ground-out RBI by Andrew Sha.

The Challengers had to overcome eight walks by pitchers Luke Dusenbury and Kyle Ferguson.

Isaiah Luzny, a sophomore transfer from North Medford, went 3-for-3 with three RBIs to lead the Challengers. Martin added two hits and one RBI.
